My Fulbright research aims to develop my technical skills in computational simulation for application to population suicide prevention, and to develop training and capacity building resources for dissemination to colleagues working in population health science.
Andrew is Professor of Epidemiology in the Translational Health Research Institute at Western Sydney University. Andrew has extensive research experience in epidemiology, psychology and public health, with particular interests in the study of suicide and mental health, the social determinants of health, injury prevention, cancer screening, and maternal and child health. Andrew also has interests in the application of systems science and simulation approaches to epidemiological evidence to inform policy and health service decisions.
Andrew will work with colleagues at the Center for Mind and Culture and Boston University to develop computational simulation models of suicidal behaviour to inform policy and prevention strategies.
